JAMES PRESTON, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO SAMUEL A. BURNS AND CHARLES A. COOK, SAME PLACE.

PUMP-FRAME.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 274,141, dated March 20, 1883.

Application filed May 12, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that'I, JAMEsPEEsToN, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Pump-Frames, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of my invention is to facilitate the adjustment of a pump'franie in such a manner that the spout will project in the desired direction.

The invention consists in the peculiar construction and arrangementof parts, as hereinafter fully set forth.

Reference is to he had to the accompany ing drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of a pump provided with my improved frame. Fig. 2 is a detail longitudinal elevation of the frame and part of the pump, parts being shown in section. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the same, the pump-cylinder being removed.

The pump barrel or cylinder A is provided with a collar, 13, provided at its upper end with a flange, 0, having its lower surface beveled, the lower end of the collar B being preferably screw-threaded, as shown. A ring or loop, D, of sufficient size to receive the collar B of the pu1np-cylinder,is attached to a cross-bar, E, provided at the ends of the front surface with studs or pintles F, projecting in the same direction from this bar E as the ring 1). The middle of the rear surface of the bar E is provided with a recess, G, and from the middle of this recess a pintle or stud, H, projecls from the bar E in the inverse direction of the pintles E. The upper inner edge of the ring D is beveled to adapt the beveled surface of the flange U to fit against the beveled edge of the ring. The bar E can be attached to a standard or other suitable support by means of bolts J, or other suitable devices; A screw-ring or locking-washer, K, is adapted to be screwed on the threaded part of the collar B.

The operation is as follows: The pump barrel or cylinder A is passed through the ring or loop D,.and the beveled flange O rests on the beveled edge of the ring D, whereby the pump-barrel is supported, and can be turned on its longitudinal axis in any direction. To look the barrel in any special position, the screw-ring K is-screwed up tightly against the lower edge of the ring D; or the pumpbarrel can be locked in position by means of a screw passing through the ring D. If the pump-cylinderis adjusted so that the spoutprojects toward the left, the lower end of the bar L or swinging supporting'bar ofthe handle N is pivoted on the right-hand pintle F of the bar E, or on the middle pintle, E. If the pump-cylinder is adjusted so that the spout bar L is pivoted tO'the left-hand pintle F, or to the middle pintle, H. If the barL is to be pivoted on the middle pintle, H, the screws J, which secure the bar E to its support, are to be loosened until the said bar can be drawn away from its support far enough to permit the eye of the bar L to be slipped over the I pintle, when the screws are to be tightened,

thus drawing the bar E against its support, and holding the bar L on the said. pintle H. The. pump-cylinder can thus be ad j ustedvery rapidly to have its spout project in one direction or the other, and only one part-that is, the bar L-need be detached. As the under surface of the flange O and the upper edge of the ring D are beveled, they will always [it closely against each other.

Having thus described my iuvention,I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The combination, with the pump-cylinder A, provided with a flange, G, and a threaded collar, B, of the supporting-ring D and the internally-threaded locking-ring K, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

2. The combination, with the pump-cylinder the ends of the front surface with pintles F, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

3. The combination, with the pump-cylinder A, provided with a flange, 0, of t the supporting-ring D, attached to a bar, E, provided. at

projects toward the right, the lower end of the a A, provided with a flange, O, of the supporting-ring D, attached to a bar, E,- provided at the ends of the front surface with pintles F and at the middle of the rear surface witha pintle, H, substantially as herein shown and described, and'for the purpose set forth.

4. The combination, with the pump-cylinder A, provided with a flange, O, of the supporting-ringD,'attached to a bar, E, provided with pintles F and H, the bar L, the pump-handle N, and the piston-rod M, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose to set forth.
